I got a top case for my Empulse a few weeks ago and finally installed it last weekend. Installed pretty easily and turned out great.
Got it from motorzaak online. Great guys to deal with.

Looks nice! Large enough to store a helmet? Did you wire the brake light to it?
-
Big enough for my helmet which has a fin on the back for the vent, so it's a little large anyway. I haven't done the brake mod yet, not sure if I will. We''ll see.

I want to do the same thing to my Empulse. I have had a a real hard time finding info, especially on the Mounting Bracket side of things. Any advice or recommendations would really be appreciated.
Cheers
Matt

Took me a few minutes to discover how to get this hardware. Sent an email to motorzaak. Steyn responded:
"Yes sure man i can make one for you..
It's a custom made frame powercoated black.. see pictures
The coast are € 295,- for the frame and cases plus shipping coast € 40,- extra"

Yeah, they were good to me. Forgot the keys and sent them the next day!
Fit is good (tight, but good). Haven't ridden a lot with it, but it's definitely secure.
-
I hope to find a way to use the same top case on both an Empulse and CBR650F. Right now I have the SW-MOTECH Alu-Rack Luggage Rack on the Honda. If they can't do both, I'll just get one for the CBR

frodus,
Do you think this mount could hold something like DigiNow's Super Charger?
-
I don't know, but it'll hold some weight. I'd just see if it fits inside the top case.
Does the diginow charger connect to the Empulse?

Yeah. I've been in discussion with Brandon about the installation. Biggest selling point for the Empulse TT is its J1772 port. I just want faster charging and the Super Charger V2 seems to be the tool for the job.

Received the Motorzaak Custom Frame. Added a GIVI Monokey adapter plate, Planned on using a V47 Tech Top Case, but used a Trekker 52 for the extra room. Either case holds two helmets, and mount to the CBR. Note, Carbon and license plate shown are courtesy of Harlan at Hollywood Electrics =Þ

How much did the Custom Frame cost you?

Hey Guys. I am a Victory Empluse tt owner. Purchased it new last year and use it as a commuter. I love it but i need a top case to store my gear. Aerostich helmet etc.
Could any of you confirm for me if the hand rail mounts on the victory are the same as your brammos?
I checked out the motorzaak site and it looks like they don't display the brammo accessories anymore. Anyone know if you can still buy a rack from them?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as this is a mod I need to make happen.
Thanks
John

Based on pictures the Hand Rail Mounts are the same. Installation requires holes to be drilled, two on each side and two on the brake light bracket. I think MotorZaak uses an actual Empulse to manufacture each custom frame. Hopefully they still have it. Steyn from MotorZaak helped me.

Good luck =)
-
Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated. Already sent a note to motorzaak. Assuming the two holes on each side are drilled into frame. Are the holes in the brake light bracket just for additional support? Last question, sounds like you can just bike the givi adapter plate and the new box mounts right on top?
thanks again for your help
John

When I installed mine:
there are 2 holes on each side that go into the passenger handles. There are 2 more that go into the back brake light bracket. Then the givi adapter plate secures on top of that.
-
Rack is ordered from motorzaak and I should have it next month. May ask for a few photos from those of you who have the same one as I am not sure how the rack will mount to the blinker/taillight frame.

I had a top case rack custom made from a local fabricator using a Bestem Top Case.
Here's a VLOG how I made it and experiences riding with it:

question for the guys who connected with with Motorzaak......my rack is going to be here next week, Do I have to buy a mounting plate too along with the givi case itself? If yes could you point me to which one? I am going to purchase the V47. Thanks John
-
re-read Cybergodzilla's posts and got all the info I needed for now. I ordered the Givi Monokey Universal plate and the V47NNT top case.
The last ask I have is Frodus or Cybergodzilla could you just show me where you mounted the rack to the taillight/turnsignal assembly?
Thanks
-
Motorzaak will send you 13 pictures Step-by-Step pictures in e-mail. They will show where to place the frame so you can drill the 6 bolt holes. Givi has good instructions. I placed 2 bracket on each side. =)
I'm thinking of adding a luggage rack; Maybe for camping. Now I just need an electric adventure bike

Thanks for getting back to me CyberG. Rack is on its way and got the photos from Steyn. Looks pretty simple. Should be here next week.
Seats off the Victory and everything looks identical to the Brammo.
Have the universal Givi mount and a V47 Monokey waiting. Love the look of the V47 case. Ill post pictures when its done.
